Integration Spotlight: Smarter Security Operations with Microsoft Sentinel + Observo AI

Microsoft Sentinel is a popular cloud-native SIEM, offering tight integration across Azure services, native machine learning models, and the scalability of Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure. It enables real-time threat detection and response across hybrid environments, making it a go-to solution for many enterprises embracing the Microsoft ecosystem. But like all modern SIEMs, Sentinel is only as effective as the data it ingests.

Taming Your Dynatrace Bill: How to Cut Observability Costs, Not Visibility

Dynatrace is a powerhouse for application performance monitoring and business analytics. But for many organizations, its power comes with a significant challenge: as applications scale across complex hybrid environments and diverse tech stacks, the sheer volume and variety of logs, metrics, and traces sent to the platform can explode, leading to staggering and unpredictable costs.

AI-Driven Alert Correlation with EventiQ in Splunk ITSI

In this video, we introduce EventiQ in Splunk ITSI, a powerful AI-driven solution designed to cut through the noise and help you find the root cause of issues faster. We’ll show you how EventiQ automatically analyzes and groups related alerts into actionable episodes, significantly reducing alert volume. We’ll cover how to enable EventiQ for a Notable Event Aggregation Policy and review the resulting episodes that it creates.

Zero instrumentation distributed tracing is here: Meet OBI on Open Telemetry

Modern systems generate enormous amounts of telemetry. The hurdle is collecting clean, connected traces without rewriting code or babysitting a fleet of language agents. That’s why Coralogix backed eBPF from the start. eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) executes sandboxed programs inside the Linux kernel, without modifying kernel source code. This method allows probes to see every request, at runtime with no instrumentation, and with near zero per‑request overhead.

How to Create Playwright Scripts for Website Monitoring with Chrome, ChatGPT & Sematext

Let’s say you want to make sure your website works as expected. You do not want to check if it just loads. You also want to check if important buttons or features are there and working. Oh, and you don’t want to just do it once. You want to keep an eye on this pretty much all the time. And, of course, you don’t want to keep checking manually if anything broke – you want to be notified, alerted when (not if) things break. You can do this by creating a Browser Monitor.

Bringing GitLab Logs into Focus with Graylog

GitLab’s audit logs offer a goldmine of insights into user activity, project changes, and security events. Getting that data into Graylog for centralized analysis is easier than you might think—especially with the flexibility of our Raw HTTP input and Illuminate’s GitLab Spotlight Pack. In this two-part guide, we’ll walk you through how to get it done, from wiring up GitLab’s Audit Event Streaming to visualizing enriched events in a purpose-built dashboard.

Architecting for Value: A Playbook for Sustainable Observability

You’ve built something amazing. Your services are scaling, your users are happy, and your team is shipping code like never before. Then the cloud bill arrives, and one line item makes your eyes water: observability. That Datadog invoice feels less like a utility bill and more like a ransom note. It’s a modern engineering paradox. The tools that give you sight into your complex systems are the same ones that can blind you with runaway costs.
